You tell me.  That doesn't look like a Fedora-installed i18n file to me:

[gordon at vagabond:~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:ja_JP.UTF-8:ja_JP:ja"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

Your LANG should probably be set to fi_FI.UTF-8.  Once you fix it, 
you'll have to log out and probably restart gdm to get your X session in 
  a UTF-8 locale.
